Snowden and Greenwald: What Is Their Real Agenda?

Perhaps it is necessary to ask "to whom or what nation" while asking such a question?Back in June, 2013, I had hunch (or, call it a gut feeling) that led me to hold some skepticism regarding Edward Snowden (and his cohort Glenn Greenwald) as the debate continued regarding whether or not Snowden was a patriot or a traitor to America (more specifically to THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!)Today, Mr. Jacobsen over at Legal Insurrection shares some similar concerns in his latest post:

Just as the NSA-Snowden leak story was being broken by The Guardian via Glenn Greenwald, and to a lesser extent at The Washington Post, I thought about writing a post with the title this post bears. In the crush of other things, and the uncertainty as to what was involved, it didn’t get written. As events [...]

Excerpts:

Nonetheless, I’ve been uncomfortable how this has gone down. We shouldn’t be kowtowed into silence just because some of the consequences of this espionage and theft are good from a privacy perspective.Maybe Snowden and Greenwald have pure agendas, but I had my doubts at the inception, and still do months later.As to Snowden, it still all seems too easy and too convenient. He just happened to know exactly which job and in what manner to scoop up so much sensitive information that the NSA apparently can’t even figure out what he took. He didn’t just take advantage of a position he held, he maneuvered himself into the position he needed to be in. That’s not the usual whistleblower scenario.[...]Jeffrey Toobin in The New Yorker makes this point as well:

As part of Snowden’s flight from American justice, he went to two of the most repressive and technologically sophisticated countries on earth. (Hong Kong is, of course, part of China.) In an interview with Greenwald, Snowden said that the authorities in those countries behaved like perfect gentlemen

.“I never gave any information to either government, and they never took anything from my laptops,” Snowden said.

Oh, really? Is he serious? Should anyone believe a word of this? China and Russia spend billions of dollars conducting counterintelligence against the United States. An American citizen walks into their countries bearing the keys to our most secret programs, and both—both!—China and Russia decline to take even a peek. That is a preposterous proposition. Even assuming that Snowden believes he had control of his computers 24/7 (he never slept?), there is simply no way that China and Russia would pass up that kind of bounty.

*******Snowden and Greenwald...patriots for America? It just doesn't sound realistic.Excerpt from one of my previous posts: In my previous post about whistle blower Edward Snowden, I linked to Trevor Louden's New Zeal Blog essay which shared an Exclusive!!! NSA Leaks Journalist Glenn Greenwald, Addressed a Marxist-Leninist Conference. After reading that article, I thought to myself...hmmm...could it be possible that Snowden is actually on the ObaMARXIST BADministration's side? Why would he go to a journalist who is a Marxist-Leninist supporter? Obama and his ilk support Marxism. Plus, there seems to be confusion on both the left and right side of the political spectrum regarding whether or not Snowden is a hero or a traitor. So... is he currently (now, not-so-secretly) being used purposely as a distraction FOR the BHO BADministration in order to keep all of the other scandals off of the public radar and gone from the front page news? Well, a writer over at Da Tech Guy Blog.com sheds some new light upon the situation.He tackles the idea that perhaps Snowden is actually a "gift" to the BADministration! The author of the article lists several reasons why he thinks that the "where's Waldo-Snowden" debacle is helping BHO and his ilk:

1. It Keeps the Focus on Snowden rather than the NSA2. It gives the press a reason to defend the Administration.3. It divides Libertarians and Republicans further.4a. It keeps the other scandals off the front page….4b…and gives the White House Political Room

*******It has become increasingly obvious that Snowden and Greenwald are more likely on the side of the ObaMARXIST BADministration. After all, if the criminals in this BADministration wanted to, they could have easily "droned him (or both of them) out."Mr. Jacobsen gives further reasons to think that ultimately, these men are actually on Obama's side - especially because they obviously share Obama's not-so-secret hatred for Israel.
Excerpt:

The fact that RINO Boehnor (plus the other cowardly Republicans) refuse to defund ObamaSCARE HELLcare shows me that they only care about their own jobs (they exempted themselves?? Hello???) and keeping their jobs at the next election. They all disgust me NO END!!!

The Bible

Proverbs 2:2-5

Our Judeo-Christian Nation

The Manhattan Declaration: A Call of Christian Conscience

Christians, when they have lived up to the highest ideals of their faith, have defended the weak and vulnerable and worked tirelessly to protect and strengthen vital institutions of civil society, beginning with the family.

We are Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical Christians who have united at this hour to reaffirm fundamental truths about justice and the common good, and to call upon our fellow citizens, believers and non-believers alike, to join us in defending them. These truths are:

1. the sanctity of human life2. the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife3. the rights of conscience and religious liberty.

Inasmuch as these truths are foundational to human dignity and the well-being of society, they are inviolable and non-negotiable. Because they are increasingly under assault from powerful forces in our culture, we are compelled today to speak out forcefully in their defense, and to commit ourselves to honoring them fully no matter what pressures are brought upon us and our institutions to abandon or compromise them. We make this commitment not as partisans of any political group but as followers of Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Lord, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

Ronald Reagan Quote

“Are you willing to spend time studying the issues, making yourself aware, and then conveying that information to family and friends? Will you resist the temptation to get a government handout for your community? Realize that the doctor’s fight against socialized medicine is your fight. We can’t socialize the doctors without socializing the patients. Recognize that government invasion of public power is eventually an assault upon your own business. If some among you fear taking a stand because you are afraid of reprisals from customers, clients, or even government, recognize that you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he’ll eat you last.” - Ronald Reagan

C. H. Spurgeon Quote

It is in the way of truth that real peace is found. If we quit the faith or leave the path of righteousness under the notion of promoting peace, we shall be greatly mistaken.

THE RELEVANT OBAMA ADMISSION

‘When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children…’ “

Read that last line again.

“That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children…”

That’s an admission that Great Britain “governed the status” of Barack Obama, Jr. He has chosen to highlight this on his own volition.

And this leads to the relevant question:

HOW CAN A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN’S STATUS BE “GOVERNED” BY GREAT BRITAIN?

A natural born citizen’s status should only be governed by the United States.Hat Tip: Natural Born Citizen blog

Our Trust is in God

"No matter what happens though, my trust is in God, He will provide, and while there may be much to fear in this world, there is nothing to fear in eternity." - Matt Wiser

A Quotable Quote

Only the lifting of the soul by the Spirit of God can overcome the downward pulling of the earth and darkness. - Stevex09

We The People

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security

George Washington Quote

The cause we are engaged in is so just and righteous that we must try to rise superior to every obstacle in its support.

--George Washington 1775

Ronald Reagan quote

"The ultimate determinant in the struggle now going on for the world will not be bombs and rockets but a test of wills and ideas -- a trial of spiritual resolve: the values we hold, the beliefs we cherish, and the ideals to which we are dedicated." --- Ronald Reagan (1911-2004) ---

Read Dr. Jeremiah's "What In The World Is Going On?"

This book gives us ten prophetic clues that you cannot afford to ignore.

"In this book, I want to help you find the truth about what is goingon. I want to show you that while our age is certainly fractionated," it need not be scary - not for Christians who trust the Lord and know how to read the signs and understand coming events. [Y]ou will recognize the clues that God has given us to find peace in "our terrifying age." [B]ut mostly, I hope this book will help to "Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" (John 14:27)."
